Housing and Barber is coming to TESO

Dracane · August 2015

Matt Firor gave Gamescom interviews and was talking about housing and a Barber. 2 things, the TESO community wants so desperately

It's definately coming to ESO and they want it to make similar to the single TES games. They've gathered many ideas and want to combine them as it seems.
This information is new and I wasn't able to find an english article so far, only german and french

german: http://www.playmassive.de/mmo-news/id62031/elder-scrolls-online-buy2play-release-besser-housing-wird-gross.html

french: http://teso.game-guide.fr/9576-gamescom-2015-interview-matt-firor

Since we have some very talented google users here, I'm sure someone can find us an english article, provided it exists yet.

Don't know about you mate but my web browser can translate it for me......

Reznique · August 2015

Of course it will be implemented at some point

The question is- when? The content they actually promised was only released just over a year after quakecon.

What ZOS say and what they do is sometimes completely different- take veteran ranks of their recent patch notes.

So why speculate on things that MAY be implemented in few years time (knowing how efficient they are) when ZOS can barely keep up with their promises?

Oh yay!

Warpaints, new hairstyles, beards and fancy mustaches and hair dyes.
Hope they drop in a gym there too, because my main's still too fat.

Nothing really new for the housing, he only say that it's his favorite dreamed feature, that players ask for it and that they are studying how it can be done.

Pale_sorc · August 2015

Hope they drop it soon.

andreasv · August 2015

Overall, he is paying more attention to Reddit, prefers consoles over PC and teams are already testing concepts for housing. Not so happy about the first two but glad for the community that housing is something that will come . . definitely . . soon.

IOUAT · August 2015

oh yeah wasnt vet ranks supposed to be removed? what happen?

Master_Fluff · August 2015

I allready found a house in the game I can use for my RP sessions that doesn't have a map marker. That way no one else can find it. Muahahahhahaa.

XarxesTheScribe · August 2015

We may see the barber relatively soon™. As for housing...

Rosveen · August 2015

No.

Housing: he said nothing new, they have no concrete plans, only concepts and "it's still coming".
Barber shop: again, "it's coming", which they've been telling us for over a year.

Cherry on top: "Pour le moment, cela se limite à des costumes ou à des familiers dans la boutique (il y aura des choses à Halloween)"
Yes, that's exactly what we *** need. No name change, no barber shop, no costume dyes; a pumpkin polymorph is your highest priority.

nordsavage · August 2015

I don't care about housing and hair cuts are not enough. Full body alterations are needed especially since what you create and what shows up in game are slightly different. Not to mention that when the game came out some of us slightly rushed characters to grab the names we wanted. I have seen too many players with pecs that break the armor and tabard meshes.

I've found a couple of houses like this too. Few things make me happier than finding a hidden gem

Mine! All mine!

It's new. Now they finally mentioned these things directly and confirmed it again. I know, it's soooon and so on.
But it's worth to give this some attention.

Prof_Bawbag · August 2015

I take it the houses will be implemented in the same manner solo dungeons are? Could get really crowed, very quickly. Would be a good house warming party though.

Sausage · August 2015

Barber is very old news. We all saw it coming Housing is standard of the genre. I just hope we get something cool, I dont want some damn simple cottage, we are Heroes, not some damn small minded peasants.

I really do not want to see "des choses à Halloween". :'(

They confirm barber shop on the forum every few weeks because people keep relentlessly asking about it. This isn't new.
Housing seems to be in a very early stage. Remember when they said Imperial City was almost ready, then didn't release it till next year? Now imagine when we're going to see content that isn't anywhere near ready for release.

remedios17 · August 2015

Coming in 2020.

Chieve · August 2015

Housing will be fun I just hope they don't screw it up lille wow did with barracks, you won't see anyone anymore

There are no solo dungeons in the game. There are no solo dungeons in the game. There are solo quests (sometimes involving dungeons) and instanced group dungeons. If you're thinking of delves, it would be an incredibly stupid way to implement personal housing. Might work for guild houses though.

You obviously knew what i meant. /pedantic

Something like the prophet's man cave.

In the interview he said he's on Reddit multiple times per day.

Last active on these official forums... May 18.

Why are we even here?

Sigh.... I hate Reddit. You can't even embed pictures.

Edit: to be fair, the last time he posted on Reddit was to comment on Recremen's Khajiit Q&A post, over a month ago. That Reddit user apparently works for ZOS now

Actually I don't. I thought you were talking about delves because people often see them as solo content and you mentioned them getting crowded. How can a real solo instance get crowded?

Techlisp · August 2015

Can I have my own barber in my very own house because the walk into town is very demanding?

And will a Khajiit have to pay more for a haircut?

Mighty_oakk · August 2015

Lol if you look at the first page of the 'ask us anything' thread they are talking about the barber shop in 2014. It seems like no progress has been made.

"When asked what he particularly would be Firor answered so that probably the Housing is - a feature which has been repeatedly thrown into the room, but never been able to be treated really concrete. "

yep.... translator is dodgy. maybe when google's AI ever works it'll learn to translate everything smoothly

Apokh · August 2015

..but it is much better, than the german of most ppl around

firstdecan · August 2015

The real question is: will these features be released before fallout 4, and if not who do they think will still be here?

Maotti · August 2015

I am sorry, but what they say and what they do are two completely different things. I don't trust ZoS anymore.
